This is what happens when you elect a Republican congress without regard to whether it is a conservative congress. It has completely abdicated its responsibility as a check on the power of the Executive branch of government.

HHS’s obscure Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program handled about 6,000 to 8,000 children a year between 2003 and 2011 while they were readied for deportation or took their cases to court.

And yet somehow the administration knew, back in January, that there would soon be an unprecedented surge of UACs at the border — which is why they placed in ad for a company that could handle 65,000 UACs.

Either somebody in the White House is positively psychic, or this illegal alien UAC invasion is the result of a deliberate plan developed and coordinated by the Obama administration — and it is already costing U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.

So first he creates the crisis. Then he exacerbates the crisis. Then he asks for MORE money to handle the crisis…

This is now a pattern, not an incident or accident.

Then they misappropriate that more money to make the crisis even worse.

All part of the plan before our very eyes:

Cloward-Piven strategy
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the Cloward-Piven Strategy seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven’s early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. “Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1971 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one.http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/theclowardpivenstrategypoe.html
